The Brother-in-Law's Vision During the Waiting Period

Question
A woman whose husband passed away three months ago lives with her in-laws in the same house. Is it permissible for her brother-in-law to see her during the waiting period since he resides in the same house?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is preferable to avoid mixing with the brother of the husband, and mere sight should not be prohibited, and God knows best.
